Hey everyone it's Johnny,
I peruse many sites and I came across a posting on MarvelousNews.com HERE It's says that they are getting ready to cast and shoot this year. That's not even the good part.... They are shooting in the U.K. Which may mean that they are really taking Cappy to an old school WWII theme! Horah! This sounds like it will be the best yet to come from the people at Marvel Entertainment. Tennative release is July 22nd 2011. Cross your fingers! What are you all hoping from this movie? Products? T-Shirts? Figures? or just a good ol' movie?

Some more info directly from the director, courtesy of collider.com
Quick rundown: – He’s definitely casting an American to play Captain America – Needs to have casting done by March 1 – He’s shooting Captain America in HD and says if they do 3D it’ll be in post – Says he’s going to shoot Captain America in a different way than any of the other Marvel pictures have been shot – They’re going to shoot most of it in the UK because the movie takes place in Europe – Regarding casting a movie star to play Captain America…Johnston says he wants to discover an unknown and surround him with more prominent names Hit the link for more detailed info.

Also, there are several great non-American actors who can do a really convincing American accent (Hugh Laurie, Simon Baker, Craig Ferguson, etc). Of course, I wouldn't expect any of them to do Captain America. Right now, I think Thomas Jane would be good for the role. But he is a known actor so it may not be an option for this director.

I just hope they fill that movie with enough references to shake a stick at. How-a-bout Namor? Wolverine? Iron Fist? Human Torch? Bucky?
And of course at the end they need to unthaw him OR find him in the Ocean frozen.

More updates from director Joe Johnston, courtesy of Hero Complex:
“The costume is a flag, but the way we’re getting around that is we have Steve Rogers forced into the USO circuit. After he’s made into this super-soldier, they decide they can’t send him into combat and risk him getting killed. He’s the only one and they can’t make more. So they say, ‘You’re going to be in this USO show’ and they give him a flag suit. He can’t wait to get out of it.” So he’s up on stage doing songs and dances with chorus girls and he can’t wait to get out and really fight. When he does go AWOL, he covers up the suit but then, after a few things happen, he realizes that this uniform allows him to lead. By then, he’s become a star in the public mind and a symbol. The guys get behind him because he embodies something special.” There will be more than one costume in the film, too. In the first USO sequences, the frustrated patriot will be wearing a version that is closer to the classic Jack Kirby-designed costume, but then later as the super-soldier hits the war zone he will be wearing a sturdier, more muted version that he makes himself that is more like battle togs. The stripes across his mid-section, for instance, will be straps, not colored fabric. “He realizes the value of the uniform symbols but he modifies his suit and adds some armor, it will be closer to the Cpa costume in some of the comics in more recent years . . . this approach, it’s the only way we could justify ever seeing him on a screen in tights, with the funny boots and everything. The government essentially puts him up there as a living comic-book character and he rips it off and then reclaims some of its imagery after he recognizes the value of it. We think it’s the best way to keep the costume and explain it at the same time.” On Casting: “Well, we’re testing five or six guys,” Johnston said. “The youngest is 23, the oldest is 32. Most of the guys in the war are just kids, 18 or 19, but we want to go a little bit older. |

OH MAN. Cannot wait. Thanks for posting!
I hope that it's like the Cap with the Metal Helmet. I really enjoy the ideas they have right now.
